      The thing wrong with your file is the -font flag which expects to
      be followed by a file name for a font file.  e.g.

	      'gmacs -i -w =80x50-0+0 -font /usr/lib/sax/kaplcour.r.14'

   Nope.  'man gmacs' says that it looks in /usr/new/lib/X/font, and to
   leave off the .onx extension.  It doesn't accept a pathname such as
   above.  Still a mystery, folks...

Nope.  Emacs accepts either a font name from /usr/new/lib/X/font or
the absolute pathname of a font (with any extension).  It accepts
anything that XOpenFont does -- I use /u9/rlk/fonts/5x7.onx (very
small) with no problems.

I took the exact command line in question and typed it in and didn't
have the problem.  gmacs -q with the rest of the command line also
didn't give me a problem.  Which machine did this happen on?
